Tachograph rules, and the record that shows they were followed
Tachovo is for the office that has to produce the evidence: the transport manager named on the O-licence, the compliance clerk in a haulage or coach fleet, the owner-driver who is both. The free drivers' hours check works out, from the hours a driver has actually done, when the next break falls due, what driving is left today and this week, and how much of the week is gone. Tachovo Pro keeps what follows: the card downloads with their dates, the analysed driving, the infringements raised and signed by the driver, and the pack behind them when somebody asks. The limits are figures you enter, because this site publishes no regulation and no legal advice.
For a fleet with more than one card to download
One driver's card is a diary entry. Twelve drivers on a 28 day cycle is a schedule somebody has to keep, and the month it slips is the month the evidence has a hole in it.
What Tachovo keeps for a transport office between one download and the next
- Every card, with the date it was read. The first question in any investigation is whether the cards were downloaded on time. That is a date against a card, and it is the cheapest piece of evidence to keep and the most expensive to be missing.
- Driving measured against the limits you work to. Analysis is arithmetic, and the value is not the clever part: it is that the same arithmetic is applied to every driver every period, so an outlier is visible rather than remembered.
- Raised, sent, signed and kept. An infringement nobody signed is a finding you cannot show you acted on. The record's job is the loop, not the detection: found, put to the driver, explained, signed, filed.
Tachovo Pro
Upgrading turns the check into the evidence. The download has a date and a deadline; the analysed driving sits against the driver and the vehicle; the infringement is raised, sent, signed and kept. Export is always available, so the compliance history is yours whether or not you stay. Tachovo Pro is £49 per month for the whole fleet, billed monthly.
